Club Fugazi, for 45 years the home of the iconic Beach Blanket Babylon, will be reanimated this fall by acrobatic performers of The 7 Fingers, a Montreal based circus company that started in 2002 in San Francisco.
David Dower, co-producer, described this exciting news — for San Francisco and the North Beach neighborhood — to club members at our June 10 meeting.
Dower said the show is a love letter to San Francisco that will include scenes about the Gold Rush, the 1906 earthquake and the Summer of Love.
Club Fugazi is being renovated to provide an immersive experience to theatergoers in all 350 seats. Finger foods of the North Beach and Chinatown neighborhoods, wine and beer will be available.
"This project is a labor of love. To have the opportunity to reanimate a venue with such a rich history, at the very moment we are coming out from under this long, dense cloud, is a powerful and energizing privilege for us,” Dower said.
The show opens in September, and tickets go on sale later this month. For more information visit www.clubfugazisf.com
